I went to Toyota to get an alignment today and they told me that I need all new struts before they do the alignment. They said stock struts would be $600.

So my questions are:

1. Is $600 a good price for stock struts?2. Are there any good after market struts for around the same price range?3. Are after market struts only for lowered vehicles? (I have stock springs)4. Are struts and shocks the same thing?

The only reason you would need new struts are if yours are bad. You shouldn't have to replace them for an alignment. You might want to get clear on why you need new struts and so forth. 600 is a lot of money.
